I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1, then to school from 3 to 10 at night, always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

I chose the most explosive dress I could find. I put a ton of makeup on and some great round earrings. I looked like Jennifer Jones in Duel in the Sun.

When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.

My first vocation was dance.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.

My current companion, Gerard de Battista, is the father of my two sons.

I love being a wizard. Every day is like Disneyland.

We have soul contracts with every person in our lives to live in the vibration of truth.

As a kid growing up, I wanted the Allen Iverson shoes that came out, the Questions. My dad got them for me, so I was excited about that.

I understand personally, ... that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.

We have to learn to adapt to people and changes. Change is good.

In gymnastics, everything is a competition. You want to have your hair look the best and your makeup look the best. You want to be the best, and you want to have the prettiest leotard.

I am extremely intentional in making the environment around me playful and loving. I have great skill in that area.

That's one of my little expressions. I never really studied acting so I kind of kiddingly talk about "building your circle" and "mooding up," because I really didn't learn any technique.

People lie. They use you and they lie, all the while feeding you bullshit about being loyal and never leaving you. No one can make that promise, because life is all about seasons, and seasons change.
